This study presents a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC)-based obstacle avoidance and whole-body motion planning method for the mobile manipulators. For the whole-body motion control, the mobile manipulator with an omnidirectional mobile base was modeled as a nine degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) serial open chain with the PPR (base) plus 6R (arm) joints, and a swept sphere volume (SSV) was applied to define a convex hull for collision avoidance. The proposed receding horizon control scheme can generate a trajectory to track the end-effector pose while avoiding the self-collision and obstacle in the task space. The proposed method could be calculated using an interior-point (IP) method solver with 100[ms] sampling time and ten samples of horizon size, and the validation of the method was conducted in the environment of Pybullet simulation.

In this paper, the numerical inverse kinematics analysis is presented for a collaborative robot with an offset wrist. Robot manipulators with offset wrist are widely used in industrial applications, due to many advantages over those with wrist center and those with three parallel axes such as simple mechanical design, light weight, and so on. There may not exist a closed-form solution for a robot manipulator with offset wrist. A simple numerical method is applied to solve the inverse kinematics with offset wrist. Singularity is analyzed using Jacobian matrix and the numerical inverse kinematics algorithm is implemented on the real-time controller.

This paper proposes a new method to generate inverse reachability maps that are more efficient for mobile manipulators than the previous algorithms. The base positioning is important to perform the given tasks. Using the inverse reachability method, we can know where to place the robot's base for given tasks. For example, the robot successfully performed the task with relocation, even when the target is initially in a low manipulability area or outside the workspace. However, there are some inefficiencies in the online process of the classical inverse reachability method. We describe what inefficiencies appear in the online phase and how to change the offline process to make the online efficient. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves better performance than usual inverse reachability approaches for mobile manipulation. Finally, we discuss the limitations and advantages of the proposed method.

A tracking controller is presented for RLFJ(rigid link flexible joint) robot manipulators with only position measurements. The controller is developed based on the integrator backstepping design method and on the two observers: the first is simple linear form observer for the filtered link velocity errors and the other for the actuator velocities. The proposed controller achieves exponential tracking of link positions and velocities while keeping all internal signals bounded. It also guarantees exponential convergence of the estimated signals to their actual ones. Finally, simulation results are included to demonstrate the tracking performance.

This paper describes the real-time implementation of an adaptive controller fur the robotic manipulator. Digital signal processors(DSPs) are special purpose micro-processors that are particularly powerful for intensive numerical computations involving sums and products of variables. TMS320C50 chips are used in implementing real time adaptive control algorithms to provide an enhanced motion for robotic manipulators. In the proposed scheme, adaptation laws are derived from the improved Lyapunov second stability analysis based on the direct adaptive control theory. The adaptive controller consists of an adaptive feedforward controller and feedback controller. The proposed control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and suitable for real-time control. Moreover, this scheme does not require any accurate dynamic modeling, nor values of manipulator parameters and payload. Performance of the adaptive controller is illustrated by simulation and experimental results for a assembling robot.

This paper presents how the input forces along the prismatic joints of a parallel manipulator are transmitted to the upper platform. In order to consider force transmission and moment transmission seperately the Jacobian matrix for parallel manipulators is splitted into two parts. Magnitudes of input forces on the six actuators at a given manipulator configuration which generate maximum/minimum output force with no moment generated on the platform are obtained through the singular value decomposition of a matrix involving the Jacobian. Similarly the directions of the input forces to obtain only the rotation of the platform have been analyzed. Using the singular values a simple equation for the volume of ellipsoid which is a good tool for manipulability measure is provided. Obtained results could be useful in determinimg design parameters like radius of plaform, angles between joints, etc. Simulations are porvided.

This paper presents three-dimensional robot task using the vision control method. A minimum of two cameras is required to place points on end dffectors of n degree-of-freedom manipulators relative to other bodies. This is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of these points in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model is developed based on a model that generalizes known three-axis manipulator kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. This model uses six uncertainty-of-view parameters estimated by the iteration method.

In this paper, we developed a method of describing the structure of robot arms and a systematic way to use it as a robt-design-aid tool. To describe the structure of robot arms, a robot was regarded as a collection of various links in the form of polygonal pillars. With the aid of the homogeneous transformation, a set of commands for describing the information on how all the links in the robot are connected was defined and used in graphically realizing complex link-based structures including robot manipulators.

The process equipment for handling high level radioactive materials like spent fuels is operated in a hot cell, due to high radioactivity. Thus, this equipment should be maintained and repaired optimally by a remotely operated manipulator. The master-slave manipulators(MSM) are widely used as a remote handling device in the hot cell. The equipment in the hot cell should be optimally placed within the workspace of the wall-mounted slave manipulator for the maintenance operation. But, because of the complexity in the hot cell, there would be some parts of the equipment that are not reached by the MSM. In this study, the maintenance process for these parts of the equipment is developed using virtual prototyping technology. To analyze the workspace of the maintenance device in the hot cell and to develop the maintenance processes for the process equipment, the virtual mock-up of the hot cell for the spent fuel handling process is implemented using IGRIP. For the implementation of the virtual mock-up, the parts of the equipment and maintenance devices such as the MSM and servo manipulator are modeled and assembled in 3-D graphics, and the appropriate kinematics are assigned. Also, the virtual workcell of the spent fuel management process is implemented in the graphical environment, which is the same as the real environment. Using this mock-up, the workspace of the manipulators in the hot cell and the operator's view through the wall-mounted lead glass are analyzed. Also, for the dedicated maintenance operation, the analyses for the detailed area of the end effectors in accordance with the slave manipulator's position and orientation are carried out. The parts of the equipment that are located outside of the MSM's workspace are specified and the maintenance process of the parts using the servo manipulator that is mounted in the hot cell is proposed. To monitor the process in the hot cell remotely, the virtual display system by a virtual camera in the virtual work cell is also proposed. And the graphic simulation using a virtual mock-up is performed to verify the proposed maintenance process. The maintenance process proposed in this study can be effectively used in the real hot cell operation and the implemented virtual mock-up can be used for analyzing the various hot cell operations and enhancing the reliability and safety of the spent fuel management.
